Sombrero caps and 15" steelies

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by rat bastad, Feb 7, 2011.

  1. Guys Im looking for the right steel Chevy wheels: can anyone tell me which 15" steel wheel (new or repro) I can use that will accept a 15" Sombrero cap? $.5" to 5" MAX in width too !!

    Or do I need to mount a 15" trim ring to the cap to get em to mount to the rims ? (Kinda hoping to avoid that if poss)

    The caps are from McVeys.

    Thanx !!

    there all over. like joker said, look up cadillac sombreros
     
  4. I have - but what I want to know is ....

    IS there a factory/aftermarket wheel that will accept them without the fancy mounting methods?

    all my cadillac steelies take them (both 52's and 60's) they have the prong ring on the back side. came factory on 52-56 cads. smooth sombreros are on 52 and 53

    Dont think you'll find anything in chev pattern, but maybe try some poncho wheels from 55 onwards.

    Or head down to Ajax in moorabbin, see if they can help you out??
